| 1. A laminated member comprising:
a transparent material layer having an incident light side and a non-incident light side opposite the incident light side,
the transparent material layer comprising:
low-reflectance portions and high-reflectance portions having a higher reflectance than the low-reflectance portions,
wherein the high-reflectance portions are indented portions of the incident light side of the transparent material layer and
the low-reflectance portions are flat, non-indented portions of the incident light side of the transparent material layer,
wherein a distributed pattern of said high-reflectance portions form an information code, and

layer, thereby defining an incident light side and a non-incident light side of the laminated member, said reflection-reduction
layer reducing the amount of reflected light passing through the laminated member.
